2017 Martinsville - First Data 500 - Pre Race Thread

[BradBlaney]

#48 around in qualifying.

Which means he wins the race

 

[jaqua19]

So much adversity for that team this year

 

[BradBlaney]

Yep there’s no reason he advanced last week

 

[jaqua19]

Don't think they've had one problem free race in the chase

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

At least he kept it off the wall.

I think he may have nicked it.

Always catches breaks though and finds a way through

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

#'s 4, 18 & 48 don't make it to final qualifying round.

 

[BradBlaney]

Hate this Sunday qualifying I have too set my lineup through work

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

#48 spins in round 2 and packs it in, so will start 24th.

Look for him to be fighting for the lead by lap 50. LOL.

#48 around in qualifying.

Lord.. what is going on Chad?????

 

[SlicedBread22]

That's funny because it reminds me of how much more I respect Kenseth after 2015. It's been awesome watching Logano revert back to his standard mediocrity.

It's not his fault.. it's the curse of finishing second in the championship

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

Lord.. what is going on Chad?????

The car started wheel hopping but, yeah, that team has had some interesting races of late.

It is so uncharacteristic.

 

[BradBlaney]

48 starting at the rear

 

[SlicedBread22]

POLE!!

How fitting!

Kinda bitter sweet.. still sweet tho

 

[BradBlaney]

Awesome...4 Fords in the top 7

 

[AdoubleU24]

Nicely done Chase. Let's get it!

never fails..Logano...pole, Kenseth starts 17th

 

[BradBlaney]

Changed gear that allows Jimmie to win

 

[StandOnIt]

Top 12 qualifiers, over 3 tenths back to Kahne.

 

[Pat]

SO,, Jimmie wanted position, Chad wanted tires. This is on Chad.

 

[Pat]

Changed gear that allows Jimmie to win

The 48 changed gear?

 

[StandOnIt]

The 48 changed gear?

oh yeah and anything else they can get by with. They start at the very back.

 

[StandOnIt]

Do you think you can win starting at the very back Jimmie?

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

If Truex were smart, he'd dispatch with #22 before he gets chance to try to keep #78 from the next round.

 

[StandOnIt]

Kudos to Blaney, the Wood Brothers have never been in this position.

 

[StandOnIt]

That depends on which side of the fence you are on.

 

[StandOnIt]

I don't know if I would race Logano hard into the first corner.

 

[DUN24]

21 and 24 are going to be all over eachother today. I hope DP loses a lap early.

like Reed and Danica won't be a lap(s) down?

 

[Formerjackman]

Right now I question whether the 48 could win from the POLE. That team hasn't shown me any indication they were on the verge of winning a race since the spring.

 

[StandOnIt]

I think JJ gets a top ten or better, and it is going to be a blast watching it.

 

[Charlie Spencer]

Which means he wins the race

Because Johnson at Martinsville.

 

[Efisher131]

Willbe interesting to see what the crowd looks like since it's in the 40s

 

[Revman]

I don't know if I would race Logano hard into the first corner.

If you do, and it goes to ****, you get a kiss from Todd Gordon....ask Carl.

I bet they will look cold

 

[KyBuownsyourbrain]

I'm never on the side with Logano. Ever.

 

[StandOnIt]

I'm never on the side with Logano. Ever.

fan or not. Logano won't give, that is they way he drives. Truex is going to have a big jump to get around him..if he doesn't he will probably have young Elliott on the inside to deal with. Ain't going to be all peaches and cream when they drop the flag.

Nor should it be. There's no cruisin' on the short tracks

Gaither gospel band doing the anthem..be prepared.
